POEM BY TUPAC SHAKUR
RIP ~1971-1996~ RIP
for a principle or belief that I have lived for. I
will die before my time because I already feel
the shalow's depth . So much I wanted to
accomplish before I reached my death. I have
come to grips with the possibility and wiped
the last tear from my eyes. I loved all who
were positive in the event of my demise.
2Pac, 1992
Poem Title: Fine Line
Was not that at all
Instead a prelude to perversion
As your fate preceded you
You were a capsule of festering alternatives
The world around you instigated
However internal it felt
Frustration and confusion waiting for release
Your channels opened
And expelled indulgence in un-human disgust
Not quite a reality, but a haunting
You indebted yourself to obsession
And basked in it's mystery
Flirting with the devil perhaps
Because only he understood
It's too late now, to resist intensity
You thought it was just anticipation
But the devil knows you are not human
And with the devil you have your date
In an ordinary world you entered hell
A culmination of self defeat
In the grasp of your ultimate tormentor
Your ecstasy is absorbed by the pinnacle of misery
Your demise was not in acquiescence
But in the agonizing realization of a fulfilled prophecy
Your illness is my illness
I celebrate this
Yet, brotherhood can lie terminal upon
merit and
Ye have achieved such.
No worry,
Simply the words of a gadfly
Merely a gadfly.
Long has the thoroughfare been your
breeding ground,
Artlessness and Meekness
Your victims anew.
Still, I do revere
Thy means of vitality, truce.
Lucky for me
Erudition is my immunity
Though a victim
I once was,
Content.
Dreams rally
With each passing night
Advertising Preferment,
Ennoblement.
In excess Connivance has governed my
interpersonal
The regime must fall.
Farcical as it may sound
Impugn I shall
Quenching the Sands with precipitant wit,
Pre-eminent rhetoric.
On the Eve of Thy Death
A queue shall form six abreast
At such length
The front man shall owe the terminus a
pace astern.
In continuum, a cycle
Such as thou.
A scene to be scene
For ne?er has it been done;
This dream I dream
The rebellion of one.
So dance,
Dance benighted fellow,
Entertain thine dearth of cognizance
For the Equinox grows near
From which time has been known to beg of
my patience.
To thee belong morn?
Mercy of my prowess,
Nightfall
A bellwether.
Remit yon irresolute kin,
The primogenitor alike
For his wavering and ultimate
acquiescence.
Genius emanates
Infrequently,
As does the alpha male yield
As is art perceived sans preconception.
Adamant Sovereign Amorphous?
Respect Law
For Law has spoken,
If your word is Law
Let Law be broken.
Thy path traveled proves finite
Your doctrine antiquated
Swear, I do
Inauguration of Mutiny?s Song shall
commence in brevity.
Descry the eyes of a rabble-rouser
Chin high, arms akimbo.
Embrace Demotion
Upon It?s Service.
Good Day.
Ever since I've known you I've treated you like a queen.
You'd tell me the thoughts on your mind
and leave your troubles far behind.
Sabina, Sabina you sure showed me the ways.
I'm just a dope from the country, I've never played these city games.
Back then I was young with nothing on my mind
but I knew a good girl was so hard to find.
Got a little sick of hearing about your Martha's Vineyard trips.
I could swear I smelt some blatant lies- or could I taste it on your lips?
I'll never understand how you could look me in the eyes
and tell me I'm not your type of guy.
Sabina, Sabina well isn't that your name?
I think I'd like not to see you if it's all just the same.
I've got the feeling that your looking for the kind of guy
whose going to build you castles in the sky.
It'll take a little longer than you anticipate,
but if it's a matter of money, Darling, can't you wait?
Sabina, Sabina well isn't that a shame,
because you probably want me now that I have fortune and fame!
